Dell EMC D-PSC-MN-01 Exam - Topic 3 Question 11 Discussion
Topic #: 3
A platform engineer is at a customer site to replace a failed Dell EMC PowerScale Gen 6 node. After removing the compute module, they observe lit LEDs inside the removed node.
What is the recommended response?
When a platform engineer removes the compute module from a Dell EMC PowerScale Gen 6 node and observes lit LEDs inside the removed node, this is a normal behavior due to the design of the node's power and indicator systems.
Reasons Why LEDs Remain Lit:
Residual Power:
The node's capacitors may hold residual power for a short time after shutdown, keeping LEDs lit temporarily.
Shared Power Supplies:
In Gen 6 nodes, power supplies may be shared between paired nodes, and some components might still receive power.
Recommended Response:
Proceed with the Procedure:
The lit LEDs are expected and do not indicate a fault.
The engineer should continue with the replacement procedure as per the guidelines.
Dell PowerScale Reference:
Dell EMC PowerScale Hardware Replacement Guide:
Section on Compute Module Replacement:
Notes that internal LEDs may remain lit after removal.
Confirms that this is normal and does not require additional action.
Safety Precautions:
Always ensure proper ESD protection when handling components.
Follow all recommended steps to safely replace hardware.
